Dont double count though, most times the debt includes living expenses which you would have spent anyways (albeit less if you are living the student life)

Undergrad - Debt free
Business School - 80 K (US)

A commerce/economics undergraduate degree at University of New South Wales will set me back at around 24k, indexed at inflation.

Damn. But seeing your college loan rates makes me cry, i'm glad i have HECS to help!

Around 3k (mostly in credit card debt, mostly for clothes) thanks to scholarships, working, and the benefits of canadian universities still being cheap back then.

I had about $12,000 in loans when I graduated in 1999. I went to a private univ. in california and the rest was paid with grants and scholarships, parents didn't contribute anything except for food during christmas break.

The cost of private university schooling is through the roof right now though. The same school I went to costs almost $30,000 per year.

I coasted through undergrad in four years on scholarships and savings. A decade later I returned to B-school and funded it through work reimbursement and current cash flow. No debt at all for either.

Now, Mrs. T - after her law school is done, we'll be in the tank for six figures, easy.

Funny, I don't see a crying emoticon.

Don't interrupt my joke with facts, OK? When the facts are against you, argue the law. Or something.

I know, it's the only way I can deal with it. But it doesn't make it any better, especially when I could be driving a Lotus, easy, for half that a month.

I have just over $6k... and I am graduating this spring.

The rest of my schooling, designation and MBA, is going to be free thanks to whatever company wants to hire me...
